Mesothelioma Lawsuit: What can I expect in the way of recovery?
According to a Rand Corporation study in 2001, most parties negotiated settlements that paid specified amounts for different diseases. For example, Mesothelioma victims receive the highest payments and those with exposure but no non-disabling lung disease the least.
The Rand study went on to say that a typical award in a Mesothelioma lawsuit was $1 million. If the case went to trial, the average award in 2001 was $6 million.
exact settlement value of your case depends on several factors; such as how serious is the damage, the companies involved, and the jurisdiction where the case is brought. Payments have varied wildly; juries in some states are generous while in others they are stingy. An attorney who handles Mesothelioma lawsuits knows this based on years of experience.
